Measuring inter-rater agreement among pathologists in cancer screening studies
Get PDFAlthough cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer in the United States, it still remains the leading cause of cancer mortality in El Salvador. This is attributed to poor cancer screening in El Salvador. The Pap smear test is the traditional screening method that pathologists use for the direction of cervical cancer in women, but the Thin Prep test is said to be an improvement to the Prep smear test. In this project, we will use the data from pathologists in the United States and El Salvador who analyzed the slides of 471 Salvadoran women who were given both the Pep smear and Thin Prep tests. With this data the Kappa statistic will be used to compare the level of agreement between the pathologists in the United States and pathologists in El Salvador. Their level of agreement will affect the outcome of which test, Thin Prep or Pap smear, is more sensitive in detecting cervical cancer. Finding results to this problem could help to terminate the growing number of women in El Salvador who are at risk or have cervical cancer

Development of a linear control model for a camless valvetrain
Get PDFThe disciplines of mechanical and electrical engineering have been merging slowly over the last few decades. More specifically, the automotive industry has reaped the benefits of using electronics to improve upon the economics and ergonomics of business well as product. Although electronic systems have proved to be useful throughout consumer vehicles, the engine is arguably the area that benefits the most. Essentially, efficiency and power output of an internal combustion engine can be improved by optimizing the airflow of the cylinders. Since this airflow is controlled by the valve train, their manipulation affects the overall performance of an engine. Additionally, mechanical power losses can be reduced by simplifying the components of the valve train . The focus of this experimentation is to prove that electronic motors can utilized to mimic the function of timing and actuation devices such as belts, pulleys, and gears. Due to the absence of mechanical constraints, the potential for varying valve timing with motors, rather than a plethora of mechanical additions, is substantially greater. Coupled with the advantages of unconventional rotary valves, the technology of camless engines has new insight
Dynamic modification of basic input/output system attributes via the operating system for Intel x86 architecture personal computers
Get PDFCurrently in the world, computers are used in order to do numerous actions to benefits humanity at large. Part of the computer power is used within the realm of personal computer workstations, which is the most widely used type of computer. However, in a lot of ways, the current computer is inefficient. Much of the computer-buying populace buy newer computer systems that scientists in the 1970s and 1980s could only dream of but use an average of only 20-30% of its full processing capabilities during its operation. In other words, many beginner and novice users simply don\u27t use its full capabilities; a person does not need a computer operating at 2.80 GHz [gigahertz] (2,800 MHz [megahertz]), a very fast clock speed, to play Solitaire or browse a text page on the Internet. For those purposes, a 350 MHz computer is sufficient. With the above comparison in mind, 2.45 GHz (or 2,450 MHz) of the clock speed is simply used to speed up the process. A benchmark is needed for a full comparison, but currently this is a very wasteful use of resources, since newer computers more often need more electricity to power that much speed, which requires that more thermal discharge (i.e., heat) needs to be exhausted out of computer systems since heat is the natural enemy of most electronics. Also, some experts users would like to go above the ordinary clock speed capabilities of their processor, but do not have an easy-to-use utility for doing so. How can users easily minimize the amount of inefficiency and waste used by the newest personal computer dynamically by operating the computer within its needed capability and nothing more, while still allowing for advanced users to tweak the computer as they will as well as prohibiting the dynamic changes being made for the times that maximal computing power is necessary? To provide for both of these solutions, the concept and study of Dynamic Modification of Basic Input/Output System Attribution via the Operating System for Intel x86 Architecture Personal Computers was created.
